Smithson Valley is the unincorporated stretch of Highway 46 between Bulverde and the Guadalupe River, where the road crosses the valley that gave the community its name. It was ranch country until Smithson Valley High School opened on the highway in 1979 and the subdivisions followed: River Crossing on the river side, Hidden Trails and Oak Village North on the hills, and newer acreage developments west toward 281. Most houses are 1990s and 2000s custom builds on one- to five-acre lots, on wells or Texas Water Company lines, with septic systems.
The land is Glen Rose limestone sloping down to the Guadalupe, and the river here is above Canyon Lake, so it is unregulated. River Crossing and the lots near the Highway 46 bridge watched the water climb during the July 2025 Hill Country flood. Up on the hills the problems are the usual ones for big slab houses on thin soil: long plumbing runs, attic tanks, and freeze breaks.
This site routes Smithson Valley homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider inspects before writing anything.
River water in a River Crossing house is river flood cleanup, contaminated from the start. A warm floor in a 1995 single-story on an acre is slab leak water damage, with a long run of pipe to search. After a freeze, burst pipe water damage work in a tall-ceilinged custom home means getting equipment into the attic.
Comal ISD runs Smithson Valley High School and the campuses around it, and it is the district most of these subdivisions feed. Permits come from Comal County, and a lot near the river needs a floodplain review before rebuilding.
